Tarka Pure

◎ Aussehen

Tarka Pure presents a pale straw-gold colour with bright clarity and lively carbonation. The head forms with moderate density and exhibits good retention, leaving thin but defined lacing down the glass. The overall impression is one of cleanness and visual crispness, characteristic of a well-executed pale lager.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with fresh lemon zest and herbal notes—a classical noble-hop profile. Beneath lies a subtle malty foundation with faint bready undertones. The extended lagering period has allowed the yeast to clean up fermentation by-products, yielding a composed, mineral-edged bouquet without any sharpness or acetaldehyde.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is clean and crisp, opening with a light malty sweetness before the herbal and citrus character steps forward in the mid-palate. Bitterness is restrained at 22 IBU—balanced rather than assertive—and contributes to an overall dry, refreshing character. The mouthfeel is smooth and medium-light, with no harshness or lingering astringency.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and relatively short, fading with a whisper of lemon and herbs into a dry, mineral aftertaste. No rough edges or oxidative notes remain—the four-week lagering and additional chilling have ensured a polished departure.
